| A New Challenge! |

So, I've already been doing the Biggest Loser challenge with two of my coworkers. Myself and one other aren't doing so great. It's time to step it up! Scotty ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) adoogen has given me the inspiration to do so. He asked the hypothetical question, "Can you go a month without eating fast food?" I say, let's take that question and make it into a Challenge!
GO A MONTH WITHOUT EATING FAST FOOD! All it can do is help.
Now the question becomes what counts as fast food? Certainly McD's, Burger King, Sonic, that sort of place. But places like Kaldis where the food is made fresh with whole ingredients wouldn't count as fast food. Sit down restaurants are still going to be a healthier option than fast food, even if the portions are far more than we need, so the challenge there is to order off the fitter menus or cut it in half. Maybe order the salad instead of whatever else would normally be ordered. And as far as pizza goes, there are better options out there, too! Make your own pizza, or try Papa Murphy's, where it's made fresh and frozen daily.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Questions? Please comment! Let me know if you are interested in taking on the challenge and we can help to support and encourage each other! ^^ (And as Dr. B and I realized, encouragment does not count as offering the other person half a bag of chips because then you aren't eating them and if the other person eats them as well, they won't have been any better than you!)
More colorful text idea also brought to you by Scotty.

Active for the Wii is kicking my butt! And I've only had it open for 2 days! I'm going to be hurting so bad tomorrow. At least it's the good kind of pain that means I am doing something, right? Owwww.
DrW's dogs are all here now. They are doing well and get along just fine with our own.
The shrew nipped at me yesterday while I was cleaning its cage. He was chasing the paper towel around, then he was just sort of chilling out under my hand. When he sniffed at me, he suddenly made his angry chirp and nipped, but didn't break skin where he certainly could have if he wanted to. I'm starting to think I really might let it go. Though it does stir and poke it's head out when I open the cage to feed it, and it truly does seem happy enough. I dunno...
My goal tomorrow is to be productive in the morning. Start with getting dogs fed and let out, working out, and then eating brunch with Nick. Then clean up around the house for company and movie watching that we are planning for Thursday. After that, it'll be time to get to work.
Now I have to hobble up the stairs to get some sleep. |

This week is going to be a little stressful! DrW's 3 dogs are coming tomorrow to stay for a week(2 chihuahuas and a papillon) and MrsK's dachshund and her daughter's basset hound are coming for the holiday weekend. Just gotta keep thinking of the money.
I spent a lot of time working on backstory for my next StaRPG characters. I have over a page written for the Mandalorian and only a few basic ideas for the Imperialist. Something tells me that I'm going to prefer the Mando character, which is bad, since she'll only be played every other game. It's amazing how much I can get into writing once I throw myself into it.
Today was pretty awesome. Nick and I slept in a little before we had to drop the car off at the shop to have the tree limb damage taken care of. Then we went to Bob Evans for delicious breakfast, followed by a trip to Target to shop around and pick up a few things.
When we got home, I decided to try out Active for the Wii. My coworker had convinced me that it was completely awesome and really works. OMG. That is SO painful! I can definitely see that it will work if I keep up with it!
Next I did some research into StaRPG classes and coming up with a story before we left to get Subway. Now I think I'll clean some cages, start some laundry, then go for a walk. |

This weekend has seemed to fly by, which is sad, because Saturday seemed to go so slowly that I was hopeful it would seem like a very loooong weekend.
Saturday was fun. Lo called while Nick and I were eating lunch to let me know that Scott had proposed. I already knew that was happening, so I was super excited to see her name on my caller ID. The only sad thing about it all is that it means that Scotty's moving out soon. Boo! But I'm still really happy for them both! Love you guys and congrats!!
Pita's litter mate Rhianna has been staying with us for a little while to work on her social skills, so there's been a lot of chihuahua play to be watched.
Yesterday was interesting. Started out with sleeping much later than intended, which lead to being a little rushed to get things done for Heather's baby's baptism. Nick and I both got some new clothes at Kohls and hurried back home to get ready. The baptism went well, with little Shawn being pretty content for a hungry, tired baby. It was followed by a reception at Heather's mom's house. Good food and company that I hadn't seen in a long time, so it was nice even if Nick and I were in a bit of a hurry to leave.
Been playing Halo 3 with the old team again. I was sucked slightly less last night than the time before, but I'm still far from being back to where I was, which was never very good to begin with.
And now to leave you with some cuteness!

Wow, it's been a while since I posted! I am good about reading other people's stuff almost every day, but apparently don't bother to post myself. There's really no excuse, either, because I've been in the mood to write lately, but not in the mood to write anything particular. Which reminds me, it's been a very long time since I tried to get caught up on other people's writing, and I feel really bad about that. There's something to tack on to my mental To Do list!
Lately, we've had more gatherings than normal at Fort Awesome. I watched The Hunt twice in one week because we were showing it to other people! I still Love that movie. <3 I'm seriously considering making ringtones out of some of the quotes for my cell phone. Bwahaha. Scott, that's your warning. If it happens, every time you call my cell phone I'll hear,"You don't give away the ITEM!"
Sunday night, we went with Scott and Lo to the City Museum. That was all kinds of painful, but it was a good time. I only ended up with one scraped elbow! Next time, I want to conquer climbing the stuff outside. I'm hoping the outdoors stuff won't be quite as difficult as some of the areas in the caves. I don't squish quite that much yet! I think it would probably be best to go on a Fri or Sat night to use the flashlights.
Finally finished with the Twilight series. My overall impression is that it was OK reading, and definitely something for girls, not so much for guys. The first book was so much better than any of the other 3, and the main character never really stopped being mildly irritating. Now that I've finished with those books, I can move on to other stuff! I have a small stack of books borrowed from Scott; The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Speak, and The Book Thief. I'll probably read them in that order. I dunno...might have to throw some high fantasy in the mix before I start going through withdrawal. Vamps and Werewolves don't make up for magic and evil wizard types. ^^;
I bought a catnip plant yesterday! Scott's recent interest in his basil plants has me thinking that the house is definitely lacking in plants. At least catnip won't hurt the cats if they destroy it. Next will be a rubber tree plant if I can find a small enough one for cheap.
I've just gotten over being somewhat sickish, so I'm starting to get back into the routine of working out every day. I need to stick with it! I can't let Michele or Dr. B get ahead of me!
And that's all I've got for now. |

My coworkers and I had our weigh-in this morning. I was down, so at least I'm back on track with that. There are two more excersize games for the Wii Balance Board that I want to look into getting.
Started watching Casanova a couple of days ago and like it enough to have asked Nick about ordering it off of Amazon. Since he is wonderful, he did, so I'll get to watch it in much better quality than over the internet in 10 minute chunks. Next up - a move titled Secret Smile. Nick, you shouldn't have brought that to my attention! ^^;
This afternoon we had two euthanasias. One was a 20 year old cat by the name of Alley. She was hyperthyroid but well controlled and had been doing amazingly well, given her age. She'd had some trouble a month ago with weakness in the back legs and had a few days where she couldn't walk well but seemed to have recovered. Randomly this morning, she fell over and suddenly couldn't even get up. The owners brought her in only for us to discover a very badly broken back leg. It was very sad. Something about a senior man trying so hard not to cry over a calico cat will just break your heart.
The next was my friend Kathryn's older collie mix, Princess. That one sucked. I went over to Petropolis to buy a cup of doggie icecream for her before we sedated her.
There are days when I love my job and days when I wish I did something completely different. Though it does make me glad that I could be there for the pets and their owners in such a difficult time. I used to tear up for every animal that we put down, but I haven't for nearly 4 years now. Not one, except of course for my own Binky. It's not that I don't feel sad, but the tears won't come. It's been that way since I returned home from my dad's memorial service. I'm not sure if his passing just put it in perspective or if it was just a coincidence, and the procedure was something I'd eventually get desensitized to. I hate to think that I've grown a little colder. |

Two days ago, I started watching a miniseries from 2004 called Blackpool. It stars Morrisey and Tennant, and it's about a man who wants to get rich by building a casino hotel in Blackpool. Things start falling apart for him the very night he opens his casino that is supposed to earn him the money for the hotel. First episode is a little slow and I really doubted I was going to get into it. Once things really got rolling, it got a lot better. I mean, c'mon, Morrisey and Tennant dance the Tango to These Boots are Made for Walking! lol I just finished ep 3 about an hour ago and am hooked. etcetera_cat, I am counting on you to have seen this so I can babble to someone who knows what I'm talking about once I've finished watching!
I haven't slept well the last couple of days, thus be still being up at 12:30 am posting rather than actually sleeping. I was actually mostly awake until well after 3 am last night and can't figure out why. Hopefully this will work itself out soon enough.
The Biggest Loser competition is still going on. I've been working out almost every day and eating so much more mindfully than ever, but I'm getting frustrated with the terribly slow results. The only good news is that the other two are having just as slow a go of it as I am, so no one can really claim to be in the lead.
Alright, time to try for sleep again. |

Saw the new Star Trek movie this morning! More on that later. ^^ And, Nick and I might be going to Disney World in as little as 3.5 months!!!
Yesterday, Nick and I went out to Old Town St. Charles to eat outside at Magpies and wander around a little. It had been way too long since last time and I always enjoy it.
After that, we went to get frames at Walmart to frame the professional pictures the group had taken at ACen. We also stopped in at Fashion Bug because Michele had told me that clothes there were cute and reasonably priced. Nick ended up demanding that I buy the skirt and one of the shirts I tried on. <3
Last night, I started trying to plan out our belated honeymoon trip to Orlando. So far, things look like they are going to work out, it's just a matter of finding out what Nick's time off is going to allow. I'm getting so excited that I'm pretty sure I'll be devastated if we have to push this off another year. With any luck, the next two conventions we have coming up before the trip will pay for it.
And Star Trek! I think almost everyone I know that had already seen it said they loved it, aside from Mike, who said he hated it and hated the producer, and would never ever consider it cannon. Personally, I enjoyed it. It's fast paced, well acted, and definitely kept my attention. There was a lot that can be poked fun at for not making any sense at all, but what sci fi movie doesn't have that sort of thing? And I can see why hardcore Star Trek fans would be fuming. I mean, c'mon, they've changed things enough to pretty much obliterate the old series. The good thing is that there can be a new, rebooted Lens Flare-tastic Star Trek series to come if they so choose. So, I like being in a position where I'm just as happy to rave about the movie as to tear it apart, and that I can still like it even when the flaws are pointed out. Yay! |

Nick and I returned home at 1 am this morning from a fun-filled weekend in Chicago for Anime Central. We drove with Mike and shared a room with him, Vicky, Brian, Kelly, and Stacy M. All of us except Kelly were cosplaying as characters from RE4, and all of us had really put a lot of time and money into our costumes. Thanks much to Vicky for making mine work out! ^^
I think this con might have been the most fun we've attended in a while, not that they aren't all fun. It all had to do with sharing a room and hanging out with friends. I posed for SO many pictures (mostly because Brian and Vicky looked AWESOME and I just happened to be around them. ^.~) We all got to go out for Chicago style pizza and the next night, Mike joined Nick and I for hot miso ramen at Mitsuwa.
It's weird to be back home and away from everyone again. I miss them already! lol
As far as sales went, this might have been the worst con since Nick started selling artwork. The Artist Alley was just so HUGE! I think it was sensory overload, and after a while you could tell that people just weren't paying attention to what they were seeing anymore. Strange that a tiny local con could have done So much better than the biggest one we go to, but it makes a weird sort of sense. We still managed a small profit.
Ok, and here are some pictures for those who might not get to see them on Facebook:

So...for the first time since I was probably 4 years old, my hair is actually short. It just barely grazes my shoulders but is *just* long enough that it can still be put in a pony tail. It was time for a change, and the fact that I'll be cosplaying as Ashley in 2 weeks was the last inspiration I needed to make the chop. I donated the hair to Locks of Love, and the bonus was that I didn't have to pay for the haircut! I hadn't known beforehand, so that made for a nice surprise. Maybe I'll post a picture later.
I've been really good about doing some Wii Fit excersize and walking 20 minutes every day. Yay! I might wait another day or two before I see if I've made any progress. Thursdays will be weigh in days at work for the competition.
Yesterday, Nick and I went grocery shopping at 4 different places to get all of the things we might want to make sure we eat healthier and at home. First was the Olive Farmer's Market for Sushi Vinegar and a couple of other Asian dressings. Next was Trader Joe's, since we hadn't been there in over a year and wanted to see what we'd been missing out on. Neither of us can really remember why we stopped shopping there! Then we went to Costco, followed by Shop'n Save. For dinner, Nick and I made curry marinated chicken breast, rice, veggies, and buttered toast. It was so good!
And here's a picture of a small part of my backyard that I took yesterday:

Acen is coming up in just a couple of weeks! That means very little time to work on making myself not look completely rediculous in an Ashley cosplay. Getting a skirt that would fit was...amusing, to say the least.
Michele, Dr. B, and I are going to work together on our own little Biggest Loser competition at work. It'll be based on percentage lost, and it will go until Aug 6. We will weigh in every Thursday and at the end, the winner will get 60 dollars from a cash pool. We aren't really letting other coworkers in on this because the rest of them are skinny little things, and the three of us are all right about the same as far as build and weight. I'm really excited about this! I hope it helps to keep me motivated. (As if that miniskirt I have to wear wasn't enough...erg.)
Work has been insanely busy, and almost every day is followed by playing Halo 3 with an awesome team of friends. <3 That's my excuse for not posting very often. ^^;
Brashen may or may not have eaten Moss, the grey mouse. I'm holding on to hope that she's just missing in the house somewhere, but it's unlikely. u.u
I don't think anything else has been going on, so that'll end this post. |

Today sucked a lot, up until I got home, anyway. Work was so busy and people were stressed. I don't mind busy so long as appointments and such are flowing well. It's once you lose the work flow that things get hectic, and today was the epitome of hectic. No one was to blame, it was all in the untimely arrivals of clients and phone calls, mostly. Nick was good enough to pick up Subway before I got home so not only did I not have to cook, I didn't have to take time to stop and pick up food, either. ^^ <3
On Sunday, wee had sewage backing up in the downstairs bathtub and had to call out a plumber who was none too happy about being out on his day off. Things got fixed, though, and I spent some time bleaching the tub. I was sad that we hadn't gotten to do the things we wanted to do that day, due to finding the mess while getting ready to leave to see Watchmen. Turned out ok in the end, though, when we got to play Halo 3 with a lot of our awesome friends. ^^
Just two more work days until Anime St. Louis!!!! While I still feel like I need a vacation, and don't feel that a local con really counts, since I'll be working at our table, I'm still going to be grateful for the days off. There's still quite a bit to do before the con comes up, too. Unfortunately, most of it falls on Nick.
Watched all of Season 1 of Doctor Who!!! Only to realize that we missed The Christmas Invasion between seasons 1 and 2. (For those of you who missed it, we sort of watched the whole thing backwards.) Scott found it for us tonight, so we'll watch it in the morning. Then I'll have no more Who to watch until the latest season becomes available. -le sigh- Oh, don't think I mentioned that our new TV's name is actually The Doctor. -glee!- |

This weekend was very full! Saturday night, we had a few people over for SF4, RE5, and Blokus. It was a lot of fun! We didn't end up sleeping til after 3:30. Sunday we didn't wake up until about 1:30, then we went out to run some errands and get lunch. After that, we spent about an hour doing yard work. I hope I didn't destroy the rose bushes, but they needed trimming very badly.
We took the dogs to the park and Pita decided to take off after two 50 lb ridgeback mixes. It was hilarious! Here were these two big dogs taking turns chasing and being chased by the 4 lb chihuahua. ^^
After all that, we ended the day by watching the last episode of season 2 of Doctor Who. I cried a lot! I didn't think I'd like Rose, but Billie Piper and David Tennant worked so well on screen that it was impossible not to love the characters together. Mike lent us Season 1 so we just started it. Talk about watching a series backwards!
Nick and I got our hair done today! Mine is all highlighted in the front and his is now sort of a Leon-esque cut. <3 It looks really good!
And here's a picture of the dogs in the back seat on the way home from the park yesterday:

Ok, so I'm late, but I really did want to do them!
For those who don't know, Scott and NickH came up with a really good idea. Instead of giving up something for Lent, they are coming up with Lenten Projects. The first was to take a picture of something with no people in it and to give it a title.
Project 1!
Title: Goin' Nowhere
The second was to come up with six-word memoirs.
Project 2!
ME:
Happy when those around are happy.
The view is better through roses.
Indecisiveness can often lead to boredom.
Constantly adapting without ever truly changing.
Friends:
So many ideas present new challenges.
Kind and funny, ready to serve.
Wit with an edge if necessary.
Obsessed is such a strong word. (Ok, been using this one for ever, but it works.)
Random:
Analytical minds never seem to settle.
Always moving ahead, always thinking behind.
The world stares through the windows.
Time cares not for our needs.
We can't choose what time erases.
An open mind must eventually choose.
Family:
Extremely talented, not so extremely motivated.
Willing to give all if reasonable.
Adventurous, independent, free; scared to death.
Conservative to the point of stagnation.
Self sacrificing to a tragic end.
The third is to draw a picture for 3 different songs while listening to them. It's due on Thursday but I imagine mine will be late. hehh
In other news, we may have just spent an insane amount of our tax refund on a 47 inch HDTV. TV warming party coming soon! Possibly this weekend if anyone is up for SF4, Blokus, and generally hanging out. |

On Monday, I got an email from speedwood.com, and it took me a minute to figure out what that was. I very nearly deleted it before I remembered that the 2 guys behind that make up the band Lost and Found. The email was to inform me that Lost and Found would be in concert at the Zion Lutheran Church in St. Charles. I think I signed up for notices like that 15 years ago, and this is the first one I'd ever gotten. Tonight was the concert, and 5 dollars was an unbeatable price for tickets. Since Nick is wonderful, he agreed to go with me.
The concert was awesome! The guys are just as engaging and amusing as I remembered, and most of their songs are pretty interactive. Nick said he had a good time and liked them, and that made me happy! I bought 2 cds and a t-shirt afterward - both cds I used to own but they were in my car when it was stolen 10 years ago.
Had a really weird dream last night. I had a baby boy, only even in the dream, I couldn't actually remember having him. Everyone was so excited about him and thought he was the cutest thing ever. I remember loving him but thinking there was something not quite right about him. Afterall, he had a full head of curly blond hair and a beard. Not even kidding. A lot happened in the dream, but I really only remember how strange the baby was and how happy everyone was.
Really need to catch up on Scott and Nick H's projects! I'll probably post them sometime this weekend and maybe even the instructions for those on my Flist that aren't on theirs. |

When I got home from work yesterday, we went to try the Mezzaluna dishes at Olive Garden with Lo. It was delicious! Turns out, we were just in time, because they discontinue them tomorrow.
Last night was a lot of fun! Nick, Brian and I went to hang out at stinkygoop's house. I got to meet the lovely Molly and we all played hours of Street Fighter 4. We're all going to have to get together to do that again sometime soon!
After Nick and I got back home, it was time for our Dr. Who marathon. I'd been warned that the last 3 episodes of Season 4 were all linked, so I wanted to watch them back-to-back without stopping. OMG. I can't believe I didn't like Donna before! I cried. Then I watched the ending many more times and still tear up every time. Can't wait for the new season to be available! Er...and I'll catch up on the missed ones in the meantime. Sometimes I do think that, around the right people, I'd be all sorts of more fannish and squeal-y. Be glad that I refrain. For the most part... ^^;
And entirely unrelated - I think I need a vacation. At least it is looking like we can take a week to go down to Orlando in September, maybe. Anime St. Louis is coming up soon, too, so that will be a couple of extra days away from work. |

I'm so addicted to Doctor Who!!! Granted, I've only seen the most recent Season 3 and started on Season 4. I still need to watch Seasons 1 and 2, and then I hear there is going to be a different Doctor, which upsets me greatly. At least they didn't go with a female, as I recently heard they thought about doing. Somehow I just can't see that working out right.
I've been coughing since last Thursday. Yesterday, the cough turned into a full blown cold. Boo! The chiropractor couldn't even adjust my neck today because my neck muscles were so tight from coughing.
Not too much else going on. Time to go start cooking dinner! |

Today work has been so slow! This morning, we had 2 hours with no appointments, so once we were caught up, I got Nicole to help me scale Suji's teeth. Granted, he had a dental almost a year ago, but he had some gingivitis and lots of buildup on his very back tooth on the left side. I'm sure this is why Bug has been obsessive about licking at his mouth. I refuse to have my dogs lose any teeth (except Bug, find me a chihuahua who never has infected teeth or I'll never believe it), so we held him still while I scraped away at all of his teeth and got them cleaned up. Not as pretty or as effective as a full Dental, but it'll do for now. Yay for learning new skills! He was very well behaved for it, all things considered. Bug's turn will be tomorrow! Bwahahaha.
Pita had to go in to work with me yesterday for a squinty eye. Turns out she had a little scratch on the cornea. It looks pathetic, all cloudy and squinted. u.u The meds are already helping a little. Yay for buggy eyed little dogs.
Borrowed Tales of Vesperia for Scott from Brian and I think I might even attempt playing it myself when Scott finishes with it.
Still watching and loving Dr. Who seasons 3 and 4. I found more episodes that are completely and utterly full of Win. Not as into the show as LOST, but it's pretty close.
Chiropractic appointments are going well! The pain that I went in for really hasn't been recurring anymore. I'm just a little sore the day after each appointment, but even that is getting better.
I think I have officially come down with the cough that Nick had over V-day weekend. Or maybe it's the cought that Dr W and Dr H have been battling for almost 2 months now? I'm really hoping it's the shorter lived version. I'm only now starting to feel a little feverish and out of it. Maybe due to lack of oxygen? jk.
Nothing else for now! |

Nick and I had a nice Valentine's Day yesterday despite the fact that he's got a touch of the flu. He drew a picture of us on a giant coffee mug with a picture of Hurley from LOST on it. <3 And he got me a new cage for the mice. It's a wire cage with a wheel and a second level, so I think they are much happier and they are definitely out and about in there more often. He also surprised me with two roses, one red and the other purple. ^^
I got him the new Street Fighter controller for the 360 and he'll get the game when it comes out later this week. We also went out to buy steaks and sushi and had a delicious dinner.
This morning, we went to breakfast at Bob Evans with his grandma for her b-day. After that, we took the dogs out to Old Town St. Charles with the chihuahuas and went through a few of the shops there. I got a really cute stone fox. Then we went to Borders for a while before returning home.
Watched Bridge to Terrabithia tonight with Scott and Lo. It was really good! I vaguely remembered the book from 6th grade, so I don't know how accurate the movie was, but I definitely enjoyed it.
Tomorrow, I have another appointment with the chiropractor. The last one was on Sat and I got to experience electrostim/heat therapy. I didn't like it too much and I was sore the rest of the day. Supposedly that will improve as I keep going.
And now I think it's time to get to bed! |
